I (luckily) only applied the two large stars on the side skirts, useing the usual microsol/set, and after only a few days the clour layer started to seperate from the adhesive, leaving large discoloured bubbles in the decal.
The areas that stayed stuck down would not dissolve off, so the only answer was to sand them off, along with several layers of paint and weathering, and re-do the areas from scratch
.I'm just glad I didn't choose the scheme with decals all over the turrets and superstructure - the model probably would not have survived long enough to be refinished
(I have to say it is still a great kit tho )
